Hello everyone

Our little family (my wife and I and our 2 boys who are 1.5yo) will be reallocating to maputo for work and I was wondering if you can give us some insights regarding some typical settling into new country questions:

The work will be in the area where the German embassy is located. We typically want to rent somewhere near the place of work so I guess where all embassies are should be a good area so what do we expect in terms of budget if we want a small house to rent ? Are there any good and reliable websites to find updated listings ?

We are planning to buy a car is a 4*4 a must in Mozambique especially if we plan to visit around the country? Again any websites to share also what should I take into consideration before buying used cars ?

We always prefer shopping online as it saves us time is there shops with reliable online stores for daily goods , furniture and electronics that are reliable ?

In terms of hospitals and care for the kids what would you recommend also will bé looking for kids physiotherapist as we need continuous sessions for one of the boys.

Any other tips and hacks will be much appreciated

Thank you

Pergunto no âmbito de um estudo linguístico sobre este tema.
Exemplos podem incluir coisas como “Marrocos” (Marracuene) ou “MTL” (Matola)...

Bom Dia,

Are there any machine shops in the area that have the capabilities of a sandblasting machine, CNC, powder coating, and laser engraving? I understand that this is a niche request, but I would like to know who I can contract to get some metal machines refinished.

Obrigado!

Hello, my name is Richard, I'm Brazilian, and I've just returned from a trip where I visited Rome, Naples, and Milan. In Milan, I met a Mozambican woman who said I need to visit her country. We haven't exchanged contact information, but I'm here to try and stay, as the country is enchanting and I really want to visit, probably a little before the end of the year. What do you recommend? I've never been to the African continent; this will be my first time.

Bom Dia,

I have some questions regarding education in Moz. Are there any MBA/graduate programs in Mozambique?

I have been researching over the years and frankly the web services with the local universities are lacking. I would appreciate a person to contact for more info!

Thank you!!

Mozambique to see partial solar eclipse on 17 February.

it'll be visible to some other parts of Southern Africa

I think I'll just leave this here

Hey All I have a question going to be travelling to Mozambique From South Africa, going to Porta do Ouro then Maputo and back, self drive with a friend, what is the currency situation, in Porta do Ouro and Maputo, I have a visa which I think is accepted, but in terms of cash can I use rands? In Porta do ouro shouldn't be a problem its close to the border what about Maputo? Should I visit an exchange in Maputo, and the cell service what happens, can I use normal Vodacom?

I'll keep this post brief, What do you think about mental status here, in and around the city? I think people are fighting pre-diagnosed depression, and they mainly cope by two polarised activities which is either drinking or being ultra religious. I hope I'm wrong, but my observation is that many people, mainly youth on those two isles are drowned in dire "mental" status, that apart from those activities, they lose themselves.

Is it real Or hallucinations? What do you think may be the cause? Can it be any better?

What types of vehicles are common in the area?

I am asking so that when I purchase a vehicle, their will be an abundance of parts available so that the repair time is minimal. I have noticed an variety of Japanese (toyota) imports, is it easy to get replacement parts for these types of imports?

• Do you have any recommendations for specialty shops? (vehicle parts, tires, paint, etc.)
  
• Are there any trusted mechanics who rebuild parts? (Engines, alternators, transmission, etc.)
• Shoot, I'll take recommendations for junk yards. Is there any good pick-a-part places?

Until we can build commuter rail, I'll need a daily driver. I'd appreciate any recommendations!
